December 18, 2001 — From the Vancouver Sun:

Joey Bishop, 83, the last survivor of the Rat Pack quintet that starred in the original 1960 Ocean's 11, says the cast of the new remake couldn't hold a martini glass to himself, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford. "This guy playing me -- Matt Damon -- and Brad Pitt playing Dean Martin, and George Clooney playing Frank Sinatra ... they're not the Rat Pack. They could never be like the Rat Pack," says the comedian and actor. "People went to see the original Ocean's 11 because these guys were characters."
